Various shareholders' equity topics; comprehensive
Part A
In late 2010, the Nicklaus Corporation was formed. The corporate charter authorizes the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of common stock carrying a $1 par value, and 1,000,000 shares of $5 par value, noncumulative, nonparticipating preferred stock. On January 2, 2011, 3,000,000 shares of the common stock are issued in exchange for cash at an average price of $10 per share. Also on January 2, all 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock are issued at $20 per share.
Required:
1. Prepare journal entries to record these transactions.
2. Prepare the shareholders' equity section of the Nicklaus balance sheet as of March 31, 2011. (Assume net income for the first quarter 2011 was $1,000,000.)
Part B
During 2011, the Nicklaus Corporation participated in three treasury stock transactions:
a. On June 30, 2011, the corporation reacquires 200,000 shares for the treasury at a price of $12 per share.
b. On July 31, 2011, 50,000 treasury shares are reissued at $15 per share.
c. On September 30, 2011, 50,000 treasury shares are reissued at $10 per share.
Required:
1. Prepare journal entries to record these transactions.
2. Prepare the Nicklaus Corporation shareholders' equity section as it would appear in a balance sheet prepared at September 30, 2011. (Assume net income for the second and third quarter was $3,000,000.)
Part C
On October 1, 2011, Nicklaus Corporation receives permission to replace its $1 par value common stock (5,000,000 shares authorized, 3,000,000 shares issued, and 2,900,000 shares outstanding) with a new common stock issue having a $.50 par value. Since the new par value is one-half the amount of the old, this represents a 2-for-1 stock split. That is, the shareholders will receive two shares of the $.50 par stock in exchange for each share of the $1 par stock they own. The $1 par stock will be collected and destroyed by the issuing corporation.
On November 1, 2011, the Nicklaus Corporation declares a $.05 per share cash dividend on common stock and a $.25 per share cash dividend on preferred stock. Payment is scheduled for December 1, 2011, to shareholders of record on November 15, 2011.
On December 2, 2011, the Nicklaus Corporation declares a 1% stock dividend payable on December 28, 2011, to shareholders of record on December 14. At the date of declaration, the common stock was selling in the open market at $10 per share. The dividend will result in 58,000 (.01 × 5,800,000) additional shares being issued to shareholders.
Required:
1. Prepare journal entries to record the declaration and payment of these stock and cash dividends.
2. Prepare the December 31, 2011, shareholders' equity section of the balance sheet for the Nicklaus Corporation. (Assume net income for the fourth quarter was $2,500,000.)
3. Prepare a statement of shareholders' equity for Nicklaus Corporation for 2011.

Thomlin Company forecasts that total overhead for the current year will be $12,300,000 with 150,000 total machine hours. Year to date, the actual overhead is $8,270,500, and the actual machine hours are 97,300 hours. If Thomlin Company uses a predetermined overhead rate based on machine hours for applying overhead, as of this point in time (year to date), the overhead is a.$291,900 overapplied b.$291,900 underapplied c.$158,100 overapplied d.$158,100 underapplied
Answer:
b. $291,900 underapplied
Explanation:
With regards to the above information, we will calculate the predetermined overhead rate first.
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated total overhead / Total machine hours
= $12,300,000 / 150,000
= $82 per machine hours
Total overhead = Predetermined overhead rate × Actual total machine hours
= $82 × 97,300
= $9,798,600
Then,
Overhead = Total overhead - Actual overhead
= $9,798,600 - $8,270,500
= $291,900 underapplied

1. Prepare a straight-line amortization table like Exhibit 14.7 for these bonds.
2. Prepare journal entries to record the first two interest payments.
3. Prepare the journal entry for maturity of the bonds on December 31, 2022 (assume semiannual interest is already recorded).
Answer:
Duval Co.
Journal Entries to record the first two interest payments:
June 30, 2019:
Debit Interest expense $4,006
Credit Cash payment $3,500
Credit Amortization of discounts $506
To record the first interest payment.
December 31, 2019:
Debit Interest expense $4,006
Credit Cash payment $3,500
Credit Amortization of discounts $506
To record the second interest payment.
December 31, 2022:
Debit Bonds Payable $100,000
Credit Cash $100,000
To record the payment on maturity of the bonds.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Face value of bonds = $100,000
Price of the bonds = $95,952
Discounts = $4,048
Period of bonds = 4 years
Coupon rate = 7%
Semi-annual amortization of discounts = $506 ($4,048/8)
June 30:
Cash payment = $3,500 ($100,000 * 3.5%)
Amortization of discounts $506
Interest expense = $4,006
December 31:
Cash payment = $3,500 ($100,000 * 3.5%)
Amortization of discounts $506
Interest expense = $4,006
Of all the promotional tools we looked at, which one is the most effective in getting your attention and interesting you in a product? Conversely, which of the tools is something that has a slim to zero chance of reaching you, much less interesting you?
Answer:
There are basically four tools of promotion namely, Advertisement, public relations, sales promotions, and direct marketing.
Of these, direct marketing will be most effective in capturing my attention while public relations will be less effective to me.
Explanation:
Direct marketing involves establishing direct communication with the potential buyer. It allows for a personal relationship with the buyer. Media such as telemarketing, direct mails, and face-to-face marketing are used to sell the goods. I will be easily convinced because I can easily relate with the person selling the goods and ask questions about the product.
Public relations refers to ways the company formally promotes its image to maintain its customer base. Press release is a measure employed by these companies. I will not be captivated by this because of the formality involved. I believe that through these measures, the company only lets out information they will like you t know.

This form of mistake usually involves both parties. It is simply called a mutual mistake. This is also defined as mutual omissions or misunderstanding on simple assumption on which the contract was made.
Materials Variances Krumple Inc. produces aluminum cans. Production of 12-ounce cans has a standard unit quantity of 4.5 ounces of aluminum per can. During the month of April, 300,000 cans were produced using 1,240,000 ounces of aluminum. The actual cost of aluminum was $0.18 per ounce and the standard price was $0.08 per ounce. There are no beginning or ending inventories of aluminum. Required: Calculate the materials price and usage variances using the columnar and formula approaches. Enter amounts as positive numbers and select Favorable or Unfavorable. Materials Price Variance$fill in the blank 1 Material Usage Variance$fill in the blank 3
Solution :
Variance Calculations Result
Direct material 0.08(300,000 x 4.5 - 1,240,000) 8,800 favorable
usage variance
Direct material 1,240,000 x (0.08 - 0.18) 124,000 unfavorable
price variance
The standard quantity = actual production x standard quantity per unit
= 300,000 x 4.5

Sigma Corporation applies overhead cost to jobs on the basis of direct labor cost. Job V, which was started and completed during the current period, shows charges of $6,300 for direct materials, $8,600 for direct labor, and $5,848 for overhead on its job cost sheet. Job W, which is still in process at year-end, shows charges of $4,300 for direct materials and $5,400 for direct labor.
Required:
Calculate the overhead cost be added to Job W at year-end.
Answer:
Allocated MOH= $3,672
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Job V:
DM= $6,300
DL= $8,600
Overhead= $5,848
Job W:
DM= $4,300
DL= $5,400
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate based on Job V:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
5,848 = Estimated manufacturing overhead rate*8,600
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 5,848/8,600
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $0.68
Now, the allocated overhead to Job W:
Allocated MOH= 0.68*5,400
Allocated MOH= $3,672
If the State of California raised the average state consumer sales tax rate from 9.25 percent to 15 percent, then this sales tax will have its heavist impact on and raise the marginal cost curves for California businesses.
a. True
b. False
Answer: False
Explanation:
Consumer sales tax is not charged to businesses but rather to the customers through a business. The tax would therefore increase the prices of goods and services for consumers and not the businesses.
The businesses would therefore not see their marginal cost curves increase. They could still be affected however, by Californians demanding less goods and services because it is now more expensive for them on account of the new sales tax.

The website returns a message back to the browser stating Error: Table 'advprofile' entry into column 'Inane' has exceeded number of allowed characters. Error saving database information. Of which of the following is this an example?
A. Resource exhaustion
B. Buffer overflow
C. Improperly configured account Improper error handing
Answer:
(B) Buffer Overflow
Explanation:
The description in the question is an example of a Buffer Overflow. This is also called a Buffer Overrun.
As the question depicts, the employee input more characters than was required in the text box. The text box was programmed to allow a more limited number of characters; maybe 15, 12, 18, etc but not up to 20.
A buffer is a storage space that holds data temporarily while it's being transported to a new space. An overrun on the buffer will occur if or when the inputed data exceeds the storage capacity of the buffer.
This overrun can cause the program to crash or access errors to develop; like the errors displayed in the question.

As long as a market is contestable, then even if it has only a few sellers, the Group of answer choices threat of new entrants will prevent the prices from rising above the competitive level. producers will be able to charge prices that are high enough to produce long-run economic profits. producers will not face new competition because the barriers to entry are high. market will never be expected to come close to the competitive result.
Answer: threat of new entrants will prevent the prices from rising above the competitive level.
Explanation:
A contestable market has competition such that sellers cannot unilaterally decide to sell at a certain price. They have to sell at a competitive price that is set by the market to ensure that goods are allocated efficiently.
If the prices attempt to rise above this competitive level, new sellers will enter the market so as to make a profit which would have the effect of driving the price back down to where it was and even lower if even more sellers come in. The price is therefore maintained to ensure that this does not happen.

Heat Tough Inc. makes heat-proof copper cookware in the United States, and it is looking to distribute its products in Europe. Rather than build and maintain a manufacturing facility in the United Kingdom, the company decides to ship its products directly from its plant in Illinois. What type of entry mode is the company using
Answer: Exporting
Explanation:
Exporting is the cheapest method of entering another market because it does not involve the building or maintenance of any business in the new market and neither does it involve any profit sharing as all the profits go to the company exporting.
With exporting, a company just ships its products to the new market it wants to enter without establishing a presence. Companies there will then buy these goods and sell them. This is what Heat Tough Inc is doing so this must be exporting.
You plan to save $6,500 per year for the next 8 years. After the last deposit, you will keep the money in the account for 6 more years. The account will earn an interest rate of 6.8 percent. How much will there be in the account 14 years from today
Answer:
$98,254.57
Explanation:
Value after 8 years
Future Value of Annuity = P * ((1 + r)^n - 1 ) / r
Future Value of Annuity = 6500 * ((1 + 6.8%)^8 - 1) / (6.8%)
Future Value of Annuity = 6500 * [(1.69266113113-1) / 0.068]
Future Value of Annuity = 6500 * 10.18619
Future Value of Annuity = $66,210.24
Value after 14 years
FV = PV * (1 + r )^n
FV = 66210.26*(1+ 6.8%)^6
FV = 66210.26 * 1.483978
FV = $98,254.57
So, the amount that will be there in the account 14 years from today is $98,254.57.

The production possibilities model illustrates an inverse relationship between two goods or services because Group of answer choices of diminishing returns. some goods are more difficult to produce that others. the opportunity cost of producing more of something will rise. production of different types will compete for limited resources.
Answer:
production of different types will compete for limited resources.
Explanation:
The production possibilities curve (PPC) is also known as the production possibilities frontier (PPF) and its a curve which illustrates the maximum (best) combinations of two products that can be produce in an economy if they both depend on these factors;
1. Technology is fixed.
2. Resources are fixed.
Hence, the production possibilities curve represents maximum combinations of products available with fixed resources and technology.
Additionally, the production possibilities curve influences the choice of production used by companies and as such it helps to make the best decision regarding the optimum product mix for a company.
Basically, the production possibilities model illustrates an inverse relationship between two goods or services (an increase in the production of one good or service results in a decrease in the production of another and vice-versa) because production of different types will compete for limited resources.
This ultimately implies that the manufacturing or production of one item (product) is likely to rise or increase provided the production of the other item (product) falls or decreases.
Assume the marginal tax rate is 10% for the first $20,000 of taxable income, 25% for taxable income from $20,001 to $50,000, and 35% for taxable income above $50,000. If Mr. Smith had taxable income of $80,000, how much tax does he owe
Answer:
the tax amount is $20,000
Explanation:
The computation of the tax amount is given below:
= 10% of $20,000 + ($50,000 - $20,001) × 25% + ($80,000 - $50,000) × 35%
= $2,000 + $7,499.75 + $10,500
= $19,999.75
= $20,000
hence, the tax amount is $20,000

Both Bond Sam and Bond Dave have 8 percent coupons, make semiannual payments, and are priced at par value. Bond Sam has 3 years to maturity, whereas Bond Dave has 18 years to maturity. If interest rates suddenly rise by 5 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of Bond Sam
Answer: -12.1%
Explanation:
Bond Sam was priced at Par which means it could have been priced at $1,000 and its yield was the same as the coupon rate of 8%.
If interest rates rise by 5%, the yield becomes:
= 8% + 5%
= 13%
Price of bond is attached:
Yield = 13% /2 = 6.5% per semiannual period
Coupon = 8% * 1,000 * 0.5 = $40 per semi annual period
Period till maturity = 3 * 2 = 6 semiannual periods
Price = $878.97
Percentage change in price:
= (878.97 - 1,000) / 1,000 * 100%
= -12.1%

Ms. Colonial has just taken out a $150,000 mortgage at an interest rate of 6 percent per year. If the mortgage calls for equal monthly payments for 20 years, what is the amount of each payment? (Assume monthly compounding or discounting.)
How do you solve this w/o a financial calculator?
Answer:
1. The monthly payment is:
= $1,074.65
2. To solve this without a financial calculator, you will calculate the future value of the $150,000 at a discount rate of 0.5% (6%/12) for 240 months. Then the calculated Future Value is divided by 240 to obtain the monthly payment.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Mortgage = $150,000
Interest rate = 6% per year
Monthly payments = 240 (20 * 12)
Period of mortgage = 20 years
N (# of periods) 240
I/Y (Interest per year) 6
PV (Present Value) 150000
FV (Future Value) 0
Results
PMT = $1,074.65
Sum of all periodic payments = $257,915.18
Total Interest = $107,915.18
Without a financial calculator (using future value table):
Future value factor of 0.5% for 240 = 1.7194345
Future value of $150,000 = $257,915.18 ($150,000 * 1.7194345)
Monthly payment = $1,074.65 ($257,915/18/240)
A fixed asset with a cost of $41,000 and accumulated depreciation of $36,500 is traded for a similar asset priced at $60,000. Assuming a trade-in allowance of $3,000, the recognized loss on the trade is
Answer:
1,500
Explanation:
The fixed assets cost is $41,000
The accumulated depreciationn is $36,500
Similar assets was priced at $36,000
Trade in allowance is $3000
Therefore the recognised law on trade can be calculated as follows
41,000-36,500-3,000
= 1,500
